#2 Iran warning to use "nuclear defense" against any US or Israeli attack doesn't bode well either. Are domestic energy nuclearized power plants = "nuclear defense"??? Must be planning to blow their "plants" up.

#3 Wonderful!

For a minute there, I was worried they might accept the deal.

#4 Well, if nuts can fly on a persian carpet, then I don't see why carrots and sticks can't.

#7 I'm fairly sure that carrots didn't exist in the Profit's time (PTUI), so obviously they are unIslamic. That leaves us with sticks, which Mo wielded personally. Therefore, it's sticks only for the Twelfth Imam...and Allan knows best!

#8 "That's not a carrot! It's a Mark 82 Thermonuclear warhead!"

#9 "Iran will not bend"
Okay, that leaves fold, spindle, mutilate, pulverize, explode, and glass-over for starters. I vote for explode and glass-over.

#10 fusing into a small thermal sun-like ball, OK, but we won't bend!
